I tried to post this yesterday with my "Smart" Phone, but was having issues ...

Normal??? That doesn't usually apply to me for many reasons (LOL :cursing:), but it finally does for BMI.

As of Saturday's weigh-in, my BMI is 24.9. I'm less than 20 pounds from my goal of a 21.8 BMI. I can hardly believe it. In less than 17 weeks, I have gone from OBESE to NORMAL. How is that possible?!?!?!?!? That NEVER, NEVER, NEVER would have happened without this surgery. Yahoo!!!

Thanks to everyone for your kind words, thoughts and encouragement. The weightloss has been getting slower, but I'm going to keep plugging away. Those 20 pounds may take another 17 weeks, but they will come off. Thanks for being part of my journey!!!!

Thanks! I've got a longer road to normal, but I'm chugging along....Just need to amp up the exercise....That's my biggest downfall!!!

Great job! Thanks for inspiring me to strive for "normal" as well - haha. I have a long road to go yet, but I can do it! Keep up the great work!

Congrats Mini! The sleeve is the greatest thing ever invented. I am really happy for you and don't worry, those last 20 will come off before you know it!

Congratulations!! I hope to be in your shoes someday! :thumbup1:

Anna - That means so much coming from you. You are an amazing person & I so appreciate your sweet spirit. This has been an amazing journey. These last pounds are definitely coming off slower, but they are coming off.

I'm headed to the East Coast to see my mom and family next week. I've told them that I've lost weight (finally broke down and told mom about the surgery) ... cannot wait to show off the new me. I now weigh less than I did when I got married. Yahoo!

It's nice to know that I am helping others. This site was a life-line to me when I was researching and getting ready for my surgery. Just keep reading and asking questions. We are all here for you.:thumbup:
